Cardiff started the game very well and put Reading under great pressure from the first 20 or so minutes. Unfortunately, Cardiff self-destruct due to a horrendous error by Cardiff's goalkeeper Bywater who attempted to clear the danger by coming off his line and kicked the ball onto Reading's Shane Long who then slotted the ball into an empty net. To make matters worse, a Cardiff player committed an unnecessary foul in the penalty box by pulling the shirt of Reading's Mills which resulted in a penalty and Long converted the resulting penalty at the stroke of half-time. Cardiff were not able to rise their game in the 2nd half and constantly gave the ball away, continued to miss good chances and sending poor deliveries in the box. Reading were rarely threatened in the 2nd half and the match would had ended 5-0 in Readings' flavor if they had not missed 2 sitters. McAnuff's goal was another reminder of Cardiff's poor performance in the match!
Oh there was no doubt Cardiff played poorly. Still I'm not sure how the ref could have missed the hand ball on the shot block right at the top of the box. He had the best angle on it in the stadium!

So, Reading v. Swansea it is!
